While editing and overall browsing, I have noticed that several articles link to a redirect that essentially redirects to another redirect that redirects back to the same page. What is the point of such an unnecessary run-around? If it links to the same article, why have it linked at all? [[Supreme Dalek]], [[Dalek Supreme]], and [[Black Dalek]] are notorious for this unnecessary redirection loop. I was going to unlink their respective links in that article, but I first would like to know why this was decided in the first place. If the seperate articles were deleted, then forgo the redirection loop and just unlink the unnecessary linked portions. Having redirects over redirects that circle the reader back to where they started seems rather inefficient and pointless. =/ [[User:Trak Nar|<b><span style="color: Chocolate">Trak Nar</span></b>]] <sup>[[User talk:Trak Nar|Ramble on]]</sup> 04:45, 1 October 2008 (UTC) | While editing and overall browsing, I have noticed that several articles link to a redirect that essentially redirects to another redirect that redirects back to the same page.

I think Trak Nar makes the fundamental error of believing "redirect runaround" was policy, when in fact it was just the detritus of page moving. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}'''11:01:14 Sat '''28 May 2011 </span> | I think Trak Nar makes the fundamental error of believing "redirect runaround" was policy, when in fact it was just the detritus of page moving. {{user:CzechOut/Sig}}{{User:CzechOut/TimeFormat}}'''11:01:14 Sat '''28 May 2011 </span> | ||
